I'm trying to push my CPU to the limit. I'm currently running stable at 4.5GHz @ 1.4v with LLC on Medium in the bios.
The motherboard I have is a GA-970A-UD3P.
The problem I have is that when I try to push the multiplier higher than 22x my PC won't boot and I'll have a screen telling me that "some hardware settings are incompatible with your system" or something like that.
I'm currently running with 205MHz BCLK with a 22x multiplier to reach 4.5GHz, the problem is: I can reach higher CPU clocks by increasing the BCLK and the NB Voltage as well the CPU Vcore, but my RAM become quickly unstable when I get past 1450MHz with 9-9-9-24 or even higher timings and a higher RAM voltage.

My temps are stable, I'm using a Zalman CNPS10X Performa and getting a max of 55°C on AIDA64 running for 1 hour.
I've already tried to update the bios, to reset the CMOS, everything I can think of I already tried and I can't raise the multiplier higher than 22x and this is driving me crazy.

Full system:
MB: GA-970A-UD3P
CPU: FX-8320E
RAM: HyperX Fury 8GB 1333MHz
PSU: Corsair TX750M
GPU: R9 270X

1.4V under full load or 1.4v input to the BIOS?

 

If the memory gets unstable at higher frequency, lower its multiplier (pick the 1066MHz profile with stock FSB), then increase the FSB normally.

1.4v under full load and on bios, with the LLC on Medium the Vdrop doesn't occur on this MB.

And I'll try lower the RAM multiplier soon.
